Professional support with HMRC enquiries

We understand the pain of watching your accountant or R&D agent shy away from defending the eligibility of your R&D application.  We make sure that you receive everything you’re legally entitled to. This starts with carrying out a thorough review of your claim and supporting information, to advise on the best course of action. We then draft a comprehensive response to HMRC’s questions.

What our clients are saying…

  • First time claimant

    This was our first year of using Apogee. The whole experience was far easier than we've experienced with other companies dealing with our R&D claim in the past. They started by looking at our claim for last year as were disappointed that the previous company we were using told us, what we thought was a nailed on R&D project, was not. Apogee looked and this project for us and confirmed it was R&D and they were able to approach HMRC and get us an additional payment. The whole process of the R&D claim was so much easier with Apogee, they compiled the report following on from meetings with our Management Team and Finance Team. They made what was a very complicated and previously time consuming process much easier. All the staff at Apogee that we have dealt with were friendly and highly professional. We would have no hesitation in recommending Apogee if you have an R&D claim to make.

  • Review of R&D tax relief applications

    We have now worked with the Apogee team on two submissions. Previously we had worked with a few other R&D specialists prior to being introduced to Nat, Jack and Ben, and it’s proven to be one of the best decisions we’ve made. The team were a great support when submitting our R&D application start to finish! From the beginning they offered a fresh, engaging and supportive approach to the process. The team’s expertise and help was invaluable and they were extremely professional throughout, even guiding us to explore further into the R&D world. We’re really looking forward to continuing to work with the Apogee team, and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for support in learning more about R&D tax credits!
